Marathon, Party, & Maze

Saturday was a very busy day for us. We started the morning with Campbell's marathon mile. We had to be to Denver by 8am which meant leaving here by 7am. We are normally not up this early on a Saturday morning so that was a stretch, but we left here at 20 minutes until 7. So we did good.

We got Campbell all checked in and then had to wait for her to run. The race didn't start until 10 so we just did some walking downtown. She ran her race and ran it in 9:25. That was pretty good considering the number of people in the race. There were so many kids. Next year I think they need to seperate the race into age groups. It would prevent kids from being blocked in by the 500 kids in front of them.

We also did a birthday party for the kids on Saturday. Most of our friends are up in Denver so we decided to do a bowling party up there. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time! We had a lot of good friends show up and we enjoyed their company.

I think something was working against poor Caleb though. He has talked about having a baseball party for months now. Last week I ordered the cake for him. It was a baseball field with a baseball on it. The perfect cake. When I went to pick up the cake Friday evening, we instead got a basketball cake. The decorator was already gone so we had to take what we got. (Although, I threw a fit and got the cake for half off.) Then, on Saturday we went and got the kid a balloon with a baseball on it. Just as we walked out of the store the balloon popped. We got a new balloon and headed to the bowling alley. As soon as we go there the new balloon popped. At least the baseball decorations I go worked out well.

After the part we headed over to the corn maze. It was fantastic to walk through the maze in the evening with the sun setting. By the time we left it was dark. It was a really nice way to end our busy day.
